Time to Fly

Simon Says Stamp and Show  Challenge is going to the birds. :)  The challenge is to use birds, feathers, or anything to do with flight!


Sometimes my mind pulls bits and pieces together of different ideas and rolls them up into a project and that is what happened this week:

My inspiration was from the nest and I wanted to showcase it in someway. I decided a three dimensional timepiece would be a lovely framework for the birds and the nest.

 I started by cutting three of the Weathered Sizzix Clock from cardboard.  I then painted them with white acrylic paint.  I sprayed them with Tattered Angels Patina Glimmer Mist.  I added a touch of the Aged Gold Embossing Enamel around the edges. I attached the three frames together with pop dots in between the layers. I attached the clock hands on either side of the frame and used a dragonfly brad to hold the hands together.   I had a piece of rusty metal that made the perfect stand. All I had to do was cover it in Versamark and heat emboss with the Aged Gold Embossing Enamel from Stampendous.

I stamped the sweet Stampendous Bluebirds using black ink on white cardstock and painted them with the same glimmer mist. I cut them out. 

I started with a base of a lace doily glued to the frame.  I added a mix of Prima flowers with the nest.  I then glued the clock faces into the flowers.  I added a key charm embossed in gold to the face of the one clock and the bird to the other clock.  I found the words time to fly in the Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers.

This artwork  brings a nice touch of spring to my desk!
